For about 10 minutes . It was harsh, but true . They actually watched the game and broke down the final couple minutes.
Its unrealistic to expect favorable media attention after performing so poorly at home against Eastern Michigan .For about 10 minutes . It was harsh, but true . They actually watched the game and broke down the final couple minutes.
Who? And the OP is just reveling in the bad news. How many negative posts today? #LoserMentality
Who knows maybe EMU is better than people want to admit. They play Kentucky in two weeks
You can have a good coach and football team and be in a crappy conference. We were good in 2006 and not in a top conference. Now that we are in a top conference we assume we should walk through any small conference opponent. But we know that's not the case from when WE were on the other side.hahaha
People who are more concerned about the criticism we receive rather than the reason for it just don't get it. You lose to EMU, you get bashed. Simple as that.

Exactly right. It shows that Rutgers is on the radar of local sports commentators, and when we start playing well the press will instantly turn positive. We are such a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree that when we turn things around--even modestly--the media will root for us.Still funny that good or bad we are still in the conversation...

Must drive some people crazy. LOL
If Kill did indeed say this...I am so disappointed. I sure hope the assertion isn't that we can't beat Eastern Michigan because we aren't getting paid B1G money. I don't know what a MAC school makes, but I'm certain even Big East money trumps that. Not having money to compete in the B1G...I don't agree fully, but I can accept that. Not having enough money to beat a MAC team? You gotta be kidding me.Purdue is getting at least 20 million more than us, and my figures are probably wrong. Jerry Kill was on BTN and his last comment was like I can't wait till we get the money.

I hope we just cut our losses. 2nd straight year ASHE starts the least talented QB. In the games it looks like the guy is in pain. We have more talent to E. Michigan & lose. With 12 seconds left, no timeouts, I begged for them to kick it now. Just knew something was going to go wrong. The guy is so damn conservative in the games & when a conservative call was needed, he runs another play! A really bad game manager. BS he needs to learn. 2 million a year. You either have it or you don't.

He wouldn't have said that merely because we lost to EMU. He's a big-picture kind of guy, and he's looking at a broad array of disadvantages that are allayed with appropriate funds. He probably wasn't even alluding to the EMU game at all when making that comment.If Kill did indeed say this...I am so disappointed.

That explains it. Thanks.The interview was three weeks ago not last week RUSK 97. And he was a head coach he should understand what the money can do.

The Big East conference was looked down upon by the top Conferences fan bases at the time (B1G,SEC,ACC,PAC,Big12). Agreed we played better football than most expected. EMU & MAC could be 2006 version of Big East.I get the point but 2006 isn't a year to use to state the BE wasn't a top conference. I think we ended up with 3 teams ranked inside the top 15 and all of our bowl teams won...

Three weeks. They are idle this week, then host Ohio.
EMU actually has a pretty tough schedule for a MAC team. Army OOC is no pushover either. Will be interesting to see how they do, but I'm not expecting them to be last year's Western Mich. When said and done they are probably about 60th - 70th in ranking (perhaps an 8-4 team). Not a great team, not a good loss, but one you can expect from a Rutgers team that I think will be around 50th-60th (a big improvement from 2016 but still not a "good" team) and seems to have been caught in a "let-down" situation.
